The award-winning fiddle player receiving international praise for his spellbinding interpretations to traditional Scottish music.

Focusing on traditional Scottish music, Ryan Young brings new life to very old, often forgotten tunes by playing them in his own unique way. His fiddle playing is brimming with fresh melodic ideas, an uplifting rhythmic drive and a great depth of dynamics and precision. His sound is very distinctive and takes the listener on an emotional and adventurous journey in any performance.

"….leading the ‘New Wave’ of traditional Scottish fiddlers, virtuoso Ryan Young" – BBC World on 3

"Uniquely graceful and expressive playing. A future star of the Scottish fiddle world" – Aidan O’Rourke (Lau)

Praise for Ryan Young's album, Just a Second:

“In live performance, Young can appear possessed by his music. This may be a studio recording….but it captures Young in full, zestful flight, crisply accompanied by guitarist Craig Irving. Echoes of Irish mentor Martin Hayes - the hooping lilt and slow burn - can be heard…” ***** The Scotsman
